Class Experience

Many times we have to deal with difficult situations in our lives. Whether it be at school, with friends, and/or family. Even strangers! Being assertive is a core communication skill that is fundamental for development. In this class, students will learn how to use assertiveness to boost self-esteem and express their needs/wants appropriately. 

This multi-day class will be taught using PowerPoint for our visual learners alongside interaction amongst the group. Students will use critical thinking; sharing ideas and thoughts amongst their peers. I love being interactive and formulating classes that get the students thinking and curious! 

The class will be as follows:
Class 1: Assertiveness communication - Understanding Traits, Tips for assertiveness, and worksheet activity
Class 2: Passive, Aggressive, and Assertive Communication- Understanding the difference between the communication styles and worksheet activity
Class 3: The Power of " I" statements - Understanding why using I to voice how we feel is important and worksheet activity
Class 4: Recap of assertive communication and role-playing Saying it assertively worksheet activity. 

No prior experience necessary!

Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

B.S In Public Health, 9 years in teaching, mentoring youth (life skills), and working in Social Services. I'm also a human being who uses the skill of problem-solving daily! I have experience working as a group-home youth counselor (ages 12-18) for 4 years, Psychiatric Case Manager for individuals re-entering into the community, and currently working as a Care Coordination family Consultant. I love teaching the importance of growth mindsets, empowerment, and life skills. Working in the social services field has given me the opportunity to work with youth and families from different walks of life. My experiences have ignited my passion for empowering youth and providing them with the skills and tools for continued success. My hope is that this course will plant the seed in every learner to strive to be confident problem solvers.
